[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5864686, member: 10373"] Most people take rifle fit for granted to their detriment. Proper fit is imperative to accuracy. Not just length of pull, but eye relief, eye height and grip. Any rifle held improperly or inconsistently will throw your shot. If it’s not comfortable, it will very likely not be held consistently and thus not perform consistently. I’ve spent hours on my rifle dry firing and putting 10’s of thousands of rounds down range and I still find minor tweaks in my hold and set up. Many of you will scoff and say awe, it don’t matter at 50 yds and you’d be correct. But, the farther out you go, the more it matters and matters a lot. Consider this, 1 MOA is equivalent to 1/1,000 at the muzzle. Scotch tape is 4/1000. Rant over. Have a good day whilst you ponder that. [/QUOTE]
